Description
This is my attempt to create a Mario question mark block type Amiibo stand.
It prints easy without any supports. Use 0.2mm layer height and 7% infill with a triangular infill and 3 walls to make it beefy.
The question mark object needs to be printed four times and should be white or any other color you like. It will be glued into the cube.
In your slicer you may notice a very thin line between the question mark and the dot. This was required to convince FreeCAD to create a single object. It should not appear in the final print unless you have "thin walls" enabled. Even than it would only be a single line and easy to remove.
Print the block in yellow, orange or some other yellowish kind of color and the question mark in some light color. It will fit right in and just needs a little glue. Red/White and Blue/White looks beautiful, but are less following the official Mario style.
As always the FreeCAD source file is included.
Happy Printing

Resolution:

Filament: Noyes PLA Bright Yellow, White
Notes:
Make sure you print at least 3 walls. That way the block gets sturdy without a ton of infill.
There is no support needed. Any printer should be able to bridge the small overhand on the question mark groove.The question mark elements need to be glued in. Even a three year old can do the puzzle. :D
